Oscar night rapidly approaches. Any guesses as to what color Kate might likely be wearing on Sunday night? I'll give you one guess. One guess only.

If you get it wrong we will all be forced to point and laugh at you!

Seriously what is up with Winslet this year? 'Why so serious?' When you peruse these photos from (left to right, photos from JAMD) London, Santa Barbara, the Golden Globes, SAG, Oscar Luncheon, Berlinale, and BAFTA) you can only presume that she will be wearing something black, probably with sharp angles or cut outs. Either Kate isn't using a stylist or her stylist is on holiday. But not the kind of holiday that involves houseswapping with Cameron Diaz. Which all begs the question: What possessed Kate to suddenly perk up all electric blue for SAG?

Hmmm. On second thought she's never worn black as an actual nominee...

It was hot pink for Sense & Sensibility, green (appropriate!) for Titanic, red for Iris, periwinkle for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and pale green for Little Children. What color will The Reader inspire her to don?*

My favourite was her red Ben de Lisi dress she wore in '02. I even had a dream once that Kate was showing me all her oscar dresses in her wardrobe and I was telling her that the red one was my favourite.....and then I woke up. :p

she should just wear her skin. this could either be as an homage to kristen scott thomas or as a representation of 50% of the reader. alternate? really depressing, worn out brown to pay tribute to the other 50% of the film.

Wow, I LOVE the green titanic dress. She looks like a mermaid or something. It could be interpreted as gaudy, I suppose, but I love it. It totally works with the voluptuousness and red hair that she had back then. Reminds me a bit of Julianne's glorious '03 dress.

I'm thinking The Reader will be something muted. Black, or brown, or maybe a deep purple. Or perhaps beige or white.

well, her 8-year-old daughter, mia, is picking out her dress so i'm thinking either a barbie pink hello, kitty number with lace, feathers and purple satin opera length gloves or vintage valentino.its really a toss up.p.s. kate was 3 rows in front of me last night at THE WINTER'S TALE that sam directed at BAM and she was wearing a long gray sweater, black jeans, and converse.

Wow, I LOVE the green titanic dress. She looks like a mermaid or something. It could be interpreted as gaudy, I suppose, but I love it. It totally works with the voluptuousness and red hair that she had back then. Reminds me a bit of Julianne's glorious '03 dress.

I loved that dress too. I love her other Oscar outfits too, but after that gown it seemed like she played it safe. I mean she always looked great, but the dresses look sort of the same to me with the red dress being the best, but the other two just sort of being variations on it.

Mmm, if it weren't for Jim T.'s insider information, I would have predicted that she would have wore black or gold, the latter because I don't think she's ever worn it, and because she has the best chance to ever win before and gold would be fitting, imo.

She mentioned on The View that her daughter had called her out for wearing so much black, so I'm guessing she'll go for color this time (but not pink, since her daughter's helping to pick it out and apparently believes that "nobody over the age of 10 should really wear pink").

No she's going to wear the gold/cream/white/champagne colour all Best Actress winners wear. Take a look, Marion, Helen, Reese and Charlize have all wore the 'winner colour'. I think you are contractually obliged to wear the colour if you're going to win, probably so that you look like an Oscar yourself.

It must have the shape of the '05 dress and this year SAG's. She has a beautiful figure; her curves are sexy and elegant at the very same time. Those two dresses were a second skin to Kate Winslet's body.

So I started watching "View" clips on YouTube after hearing about Winslet being on, and after I watched her stuff, I watched their recent interview with Jane Krakowski.

And there was one incredibly awkward exchange where, when asked if there's a broadway show she's always wanted to do, Jane says "well right now I'd LOVE to do a broadway show and then get to play the same role on film, since you then know the character so well." And Joy Behar has the nerve to ask why it is that stage stars never seem to reprise their roles in film versions of the shows. She's like "you never see that happen? Why is that?" D-U-H.

Jane then gets this really awkward look on her face (having JUST been passed over for the film version of Nine) and eventually says, "well, it's most likely because those movies are able to get huge stars in them. Like, MOVIE stars." Then someone else quickly and smartly changes the subject.

You can tell she didn't wanna go there, but basically had no choice if she was gonna answer the question (it's a pretty obvious thing). SO awkward.

I thought Nat would appreciate. Everyone should watch on YouTube, it's pretty entertaining.

I think the color of Kate's dress should be the tiebreaker if you're participating in an oscar prediction contest. With my family, though, the tiebreaker question is "how many times will the camera cut to jack nicholson laughing/smiling?"
